Application of the K - nearest neighbors algorithm for predicting blast - induced ground vibration in open - pit coal mines: A case study

A review of the literature shows that AI techniques have been successfully applied in predicting PPV in open - pit mines. Nonetheless, they have not been applied anywhere. In this study, the k - nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm was investigated and applied to predict PPV at the Deo Nai open - pit coal mines (Vietnam).
